project 810 maxima

[dungoo05]

Hey world....just picked up a 5 spd 1982 datsun maxima 810. It's going to be built for drifting. Trying to start out with coilovers. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Here.....let me bring it on topic.

 

The L6 in this car (this is an L6 forum) is a L24.

 

It doesn't possess enough power in stock form but I've turbocharged them using the 280zx turbo hardware on the L24 longblock.

 

Pretty much the only non-stock things needed are to fabricate a downpipe from the 4 bolt flange back and to fit a turbo drain.

 

The rest can come from the 280zx turbo donor car.

 

Here's a thread with pics that might help.

But I gotta ask: if you have a 280zx turbo donor, why keep the smaller engine at all? The 2.8 will drop right in.

Because the L28 is rear sump and the maxima requires a front sump.

 

You would have to modify the oil pickup and add a new dipstick for the front sump location.

 

All that kind of jazz exists in this thread that shows some of the engine fitment issues of putting the L28 into a front sump car.

The L24 in my car was in pristine condition and handled tire burning boost fine for 40,000 or more miles.

Ah, well, fair enough. I would consider changing the sump etc on the 2.8, but I concede that that sounds a like a bit of work. Still, look at the measures some will go to to gain 10hp!
